There is no comfort like knowing that Jesus has entered into all our sorrows. This is the way God has met the need and desire of our nature. Supposing that Adam had never fallen, we could not speak of God with the comfort that we can since He has come in sympathy, through the incarnation of our blessed Lord. The Lord Jesus having become a man is the source of all comfort. The Lord entered into the depths of all sorrow to give us all the depth of comfort and that we may know that God knows the remedy of our case. He lets us see the feelings of Jesus while entering into our sorrows, and this forms the channel for all His love to flow into our souls.
